为什么我在这里得到java.lang.StackOverflowError？

Question

_以下问题的以下程序给出了一系列例外Exception in thread "main" java.lang.StackOverflowError at testing_package.Compute.factorial(Compute.java:105)我不明白为什么会出现此错误.

问题:N个男孩和M个女孩正在从剧院学习表演技巧.为了表演,他们需要组成一组P演员,其中包含不少于4个男孩和不少于1个女孩.剧院要求你写一个程序,告诉他们组的形成方式.注意:组成应该是唯一的,而不是组成的顺序.

我已经注释了第105行.

Answer 1

computeFactorial避免调用factorialif R > N,但在所有其他情况下(R == N,R < N)调用它,传入N-R.如果R == N,然后N-R是0.在factorial,你如果检查num == 1和恢复1,但是当num是0,你有factorial叫本身num - 1,这是-1.然后调用自身再次num - 1,这是-2等与不断日益大型负数(-1,-2,...),直到你用完栈.

我还没有仔细阅读代码,但最起码,你需要有factorial回报1时num == 0,以及当num == 1(0! = 1).如果你给它一个负数,我也会抛出异常.
